Questions to Ask a Roofer After a Storm

A few good questions can save you stress. Bring this list to your first conversation.

About the Damage

What did you find, and can you show me photos? Is it a repair or a replacement, and why? What did you check inside the house?

Ask the roofer to mark the damage on the photos.

About the Work

What materials will you use, and how will the roof be installed? How will you protect my landscaping and clean up? Who will be on site?

Ask what would change the plan.

About the Timing

What is the temporary plan if rain comes? How long will the work take, and what could delay it? How will you keep me informed?

Ask how to reach someone if you have a question.
